Terms of service
<p><strong>OVERVIEW</strong><br>
Welcome to Salka. The terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to SalkaPet LLC, trading as Salka Pet (formerly The Salty Dog Pet Co.). We operate this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). Salka is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.<br>
The terms and conditions below, together with any policies referenced in them (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.<br>
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.<br>
By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our <a href="/policies/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a>. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNT</strong><br>
By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and that you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase or manage.<br>
To use the Services, including browsing our online store or purchasing any of the products we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address and billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all the information you provide is correct, current and complete, and that you have all rights necessary to provide it.<br>
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS</strong><br>
We have made every effort to represent our products accurately in our online store. Colors and product appearance may nonetheless differ from how they appear on your screen, depending on your device and its settings.<br>
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any product you purchase will meet your expectations or be identical to how it is depicted in our online store.<br>
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time, and may limit the quantities of any product we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.<br>
Our products are cosmetic grooming products for dogs. They are not drugs, and nothing on the Services is intended as veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If your dog has a medical condition, consult your veterinarian.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION 3 — ORDERS</strong><br>
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. Salka reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until Salka confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting it, as we may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests once an order is accepted. If we do not accept, change, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided when the order was placed.<br>
Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our <a href="/policies/refund-policy">Refund Policy</a>.<br>
Orders placed through this store are intended for personal or household use. If you are a retailer or distributor seeking to purchase Salka products for resale, please contact us at <a href="mailto:hello@salkapet.com">hello@salkapet.com</a> — wholesale purchases are made under a separate wholesale agreement and are not governed by this Section.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION 4 — PRICES AND BILLING</strong><br>
Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed, and will be set out in your order confirmation email. Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, or handling.<br>
Prices posted in our online store may differ from prices offered in physical stores or in stores operated by third parties. We may from time to time offer promotions that affect pricing and that are governed by terms separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms govern.<br>
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase, payment and account information for all purchases. You agree to promptly update your account information, including your email address and payment details, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.<br>
You represent and warrant that (i) the payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use the payment method for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your card issuer, and (iv) you will pay charges incurred at the posted prices, including shipping and handling charges and all applicable taxes.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION 5 — SUBSCRIPTIONS</strong><br>
If you choose Subscribe & Save at checkout, you are enrolling in a recurring order. <strong>Your payment method will be charged automatically on each scheduled delivery date</strong>, at the subscription price then in effect, until you cancel. We will email you in advance of each renewal.<br>
<strong>You may skip, pause, reschedule, or cancel your subscription at any time</strong>, with no fee and no minimum number of shipments, by signing in to your account or by emailing <a href="mailto:hello@salkapet.com">hello@salkapet.com</a>. Changes must be made before your next scheduled billing date in order to apply to that shipment.<br>
Full details, including how subscription orders ship and what happens if a price changes, are set out in our <a href="/policies/subscription-policy">Subscription Policy</a>, which forms part of these Terms.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION 6 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY</strong><br>
We are not liable for shipping and delivery delays. All delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers or events outside our control. Once we transfer products to the carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you. Our <a href="/policies/shipping-policy">Shipping Policy</a> sets out what we will do to help if a shipment is lost, delayed, or arrives damaged.</p>

We will notify you of any indemnifiable claim, provided that a failure to notify promptly will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced. We may control the defense and settlement of such claim at your expense, including choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. You will cooperate in the defense of indemnified claims, including by providing relevant documents.</p>
